TL;DR Summary

One year after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, at least 15 states have ceased nearly all abortion services, and 13 states have near-total or total abortion bans. The number of abortions per month in each state, compared to the averages before Dobbs, rose or fell depending on the legal status of abortion in the state. However, support for abortion has increased, especially in the first trimester, and abortion providers in states where the procedure remains legal have seen an increase in patients. Nearly 700 abortion bills have been introduced in state legislatures across the country, with 25 measures enacted restricting abortion access and 30 protecting and expanding abortion access.
